Week 12 is upon us. With it brings the scent of the playoffs. Several teams are jockeying for position, while others have fallen by the wayside. No team remains undefeated. Every team is vulnerable. In the Premier Madden Football League, anybody can win just as anybody can lose. A mid-season analysis by Arizona Cardinals owner, Alonso (aka ferociouszo), provides a breakdown of the 2012 PMFL playoff bubble for Madden 11.

AFC PLAYOFF WATCH

Raiders (dablakpope) 9-1: All I can say is WOW!!! Can anybody, I mean did anybody see this coming besides the Raiders???? Well like they say, “Talk the talk; walk the walk.” This team sure has done that. Everybody doubted them and they are saying, “Will you take a look at this!”

Games to keep an eye on for the Raiders: Week 14 versus the Bucs

Prediction: They keep the pedal to the medal and win the AFC; 1st round bye and homefield throughout the playoffs.

Jets (thafuture3886) 8-2:This team has a pretty good grasp of the AFC East and this #2 spot, but they cant sleep on anybody like they did versus the Broncos. Like they say, “Any given Sunday.”

Games to keep an eye on for this Jets: Week 13 & 15 versus the Patriots

Prediction: They split with the Patriots and end up winning the division by an inch, and keeping the #2 spot.

Patriots (Jaaged) 8-2:With this record you would expect them to be in the Strong Jockstrap section right???? Wrong!!!! After you look at the rest of the schedule this team has you will know why.

Games to keep an eye on for the Patriots: Week 12,13,14,15 & 17 versus Rams, Jets, Colts, Jets, & Dolphins.

Prediction: If they still have a team after the next four weeks, I see them still making the playoffs in a wildcard capacity with a 10-6 record.

Rams (Andyman) 8-1:This team appears to have started where they left off last season... WINNING. After losing by only a touchdown in week 3 to the reigning 2011 PMFL Champions, the Rams seem to have come back to dominate the NFC once again as they lead the entire NFC. Once again, Andy has a lock down on the division and the NFC with already having beaten the Bucs which currently sit at the #2 spot in the NFC. All the Rams need is a win versus the Cowboys in week 13 and the #1 spot in the NFC should be theirs.

Games to keep an eye on for the Rams: Week 12 & 13 versus the Patriots & Cowboys.

Buccaneers (CHUNKNESS) 8-2:Undefeated in their division, this team is on its way to making the playoffs once again. Their only 2 losses: One coming at the hands of the #1 team in the NFC, the Rams, and their 2nd coming at the hands of the Eagles on a last second touchdown.
Games to keep an eye on for the Bucs: Week 14 & 16 versus the Raiders & Panthers.

Bucs win the division and hang on to the #2 spot in the playoffs.

Cowboys (hoodiii) 8-2: Another team coming in at 8-2. The Cowboys suffered their first loss of the season to a Falcons team that knows the Cowboys very well, but only lost by four points. The other loss came at the hands of the #2 NFC team, the Bucs. The Cowboys are also undefeated in the division, but a hot 7-3 Redskins team might be a problem down the stretch.

Games to keep an eye on for the Boys: Week 14 & 16 versus the Redskins in both.

Prediction: They split the series with the Redskins and hang on to win the division.

Lions (BigSmooth33) 6-4:This surprising Lions team is on top of their division but not by a lot. The Lions are only one game in front of the Vikings, but have beaten the Vikes once already this season. The Lions are looking to win the NFC North for the 1st time since 1993, but a hard road is ahead of them.

Games to keep an eye on for the Lions: Week 12 & 13 versus the Colts & Vikings.

Prediction: Lions pull off a tough win versus the Colts and then sweep the Vikings. The Lions will win their division and move on to the playoffs.
